8:29 pm. All packed - spent most of the day trying to buy a new bag for all m
y junk. Some last postcards. The one I got in Manali failed - zip broke. Problem is in Delhi either the bags are far too cheap or far too expensive. Went for the latter. Taxi booked to IGI airport at 9 pm - but I'll believe that when I see it actually turn up at the hotel.

Indira Gandhi International airport- after much hassle extricating myself from the hotel. Based on a sample of five hotels, the Indian hotels seem pretty disorganised. Subway sandwich, coke, crisps with my final rupees. A lot of hanging around until my flight. A comic moment when some USA dude puts ketchup on his chocolate cake, thinking the former was some sort of chocolate sauce (despite red colour!). Will be glad to get rid of the bags. Usual airport dilemma: do I go through security and find there's no food the other side, or stay here where at least there's a Subway? Apart from a few English signs, could be anywhere in the world. And a squashed grasshopper thing on the floor.

Hey, Peter,
Congratulations on an awesome trip! In spite of all the not so good parts, I still feel really jealous and wish I could've come along! But the best part is, now I know who to ask when I need a climbing guide/partner for Asia! ;P
Well done (and the blog was a pleasure to read)!
